Guilford encourages everyone to report all forms of sexual misconduct to the College and/or to the police. Making a report means telling someone in authority what happened — in person, by phone, in writing, or by email or text.

What is a complainant? What type of conduct is prohibited? Will my professors know about the complaints I make? Get the answers to these questions and more on the Title IX FAQ page.

Guilford College recognizes that members who identify as LGBTQIA+ experience higher levels of discrimination and psychological distress than their heterosexual and cisgender peers. Guilford strives to create a safe and compassionate campus community where all members feel welcomed, and can participate in the college experience fully without intimidation or bias.

To remain in compliance with Title IX policies, procedures and legal guidelines, all Guilford College employees and students are required to complete training on these subjects on an annual basis. In addition, we require employees and students to complete training on related policies and procedures.

The College encourages all individuals to seek assistance from a medical provider and law enforcement immediately after an incident of sexual misconduct when such assistance is desired or necessary under the circumstances, regardless of whether or not the individual plans to pursue criminal action. This is the best option to ensure preservation of evidence and to begin a timely response by law enforcement and/or the College. Complainants are strongly encouraged to take immediate steps to preserve all evidence that might support a future report to the College, a protective order, or an investigation by law enforcement.
